Residence Struck by Vehicle – Arrest

At approximately 5:15AM on July 20, 2014 Manassas City Police responded to the 9200 block of Bayberry Ave in reference to a vehicle that had struck a house. Upon arrival officers discovered that the suspect had driven his Dodge Challenger into the front of a residence where it rested entirely on the lower level, then fled the scene on foot.

Officers located the suspect, Eberardo CASTILLO, a short distance away on Lomond Ave with non-life-threatening injuries and placed him under arrest without incident. The victims, one adult male, one adult female, and one juvenile female, were also treated for non-life-threatening injuries resulting from the collision.

Arrangements are underway with American Red Cross to find housing for the victims as the residence was deemed unfit for occupancy.
